DECRYPTION – Companies that are struggling to hire do not hesitate to relax their criteria and increase salaries in order to attract the right profile.
The weather should be fine in 2023 on the executive job market. Sometimes even at the limit of overheating for companies that will have to adapt to attract candidates. After having crossed the symbolic threshold of 300,000 hires last year, the recruitment of executives should be maintained on this “very high plateau” around 308,800 hires expected in 2023, according to the annual forecasts of the Association for the employment of executives (Apec) presented on Tuesday.
The survey, conducted among a representative sample of 8,000 private companies, confirms a record level, much higher than that of the reference year 2019. Thus, Apec is delighted to see that “the Covid crisis is over” and “the war in Ukraine and its consequences have not generated a new crisis”.
